Kicked from raid team due to colorblind

[Krr]

When the OP made statements like "they cared more about loot than helping me out." I am pretty damn sure that it was the OP that was starting the fight.

Considering you weren't even named and this is a very large forum that you didn't even have an active account on...until you and several others started posting in this thread to argue about the OP's 'player skill' and add several defamatory tags to it...no, I don't believe OP had any intention to start a fight with you or anyone from their former raid group.

They probably think you're awful human beings and never want to interact with you again. Based on your unapologetic borderline stalking and harassment, and potential violation of forum rules (turning a thread into a callout thread) I'd believe them.

Dunno how hard or how well it works (not colorblind but was doing accessibility programming), but the Android OS has a feature where the user selects a palette that they can see through some wizard. The phone then applies it to everything on the screen. SE should try implementing something like this so they don't have to keep redesigning fights.

The tethers also look somewhat different. The red and green ones appear a little thinner and are darker.(At least for me they look that way). The other one seems flatter.

If you can't tell which color is it, just look at its animation. Blue one is a single fat line, green/red are two lines.

Typically with tethers you are always paired with the same person, at least in melee range I am always paired with our DRG unless she is dead. I do not see why your partner could not call out for you. For example "<insert name> go to A/B/C>". Not that difficult. Quite a dumb reason to kick someone.

The tethers in T11 always pair a tank with another tank and a melee with another melee, as long as it's possible. And if memory serves me right, a ranged DD and a healer are always paired together, you never have 2 ranged DDs or both healers paired together, as long as party composition allows it, or no one is dead.

It doesn't work like that for ranged classes. It does for melee and tanks, which is why your tether is always to the DRG as long as he's alive.

...what?


I (as bard) get tethered to the summoner in our group all the time. We are the only two ranged DD in our comp. And I have watched us wipe before because the scholar and WHM tried to spread for missile at the same time. These situations both occurred while there were no deaths in the party.

Caster DD, Bard and Healer are all grouped into the "ranged" category, and any combination of them being tethered together is possible during that phase. It is only: tanks that always get paired, and melee will always get paired if there is only 2 of them as you stated before.

I've actually gotten flank tethers 3 times in a row where I was tethered to a different member of the "ranged" category all 3 times. Once to SMN, once to WHM and once to SCH. Needless to say, they moved to me


edit: I do echo the sentiment that this is a stupid reason to kick you, OP. There is plenty of time to coordinate for tethers that 1 extra second could be used to call out which tether you have. Or have a contingency plan in place for when you get tethered that the person who has the same color as you can just move to you, and you have a designated spot for flank tethers.

We do that for our melee. B (green) and C (blue) because the color of the waypoint matches the color of the tethers, but our monk hits his positionals on C side so if he gets a flank tether they will always go to C, regardless of which color they actually have. This could easily be implemented for you as well. Sounds like you're better off finding new people to raid with anyway. Good luck, and hopefully this actually doesn't make you quit the game ;-;

I haven't cleared T10 yet, so I'm not familiar with the fight, but that's really unfortunate.

That bein said, Not bein able to clear 11 while it's still current progression isn't necessarily a reason to quit the game. I've bee too busy IRL to dedicate time to a raid static, and I've realized the farther I fall behind in RAID progression, the more OK I am with it. I do mostly DoL/DoH at the moment. I don't know how far you ae in the relic/zodiac quest, but I image you don't have ever Zodiak weapon + all 11 Luci's + pushing T11 XD

the good part about not doing it when i's RAID progression, is that RAID progression is prett close to being synonymous with asshole hehe. if ou have to do it NOW, then you need to learn patience. If you need people to work wit you, you should also work with other people who might require more patience. Eventually, you'll get it done.

SE has been relatively accommodating to people with disabilities such as colorblind and changing things like the tethers on Garuda - I'm sure if people brought up the issues the dev team will look into it.

I agree it should be changed, but throwing the "i'm going to quit the game" just because something doesn't work out for you is just low.
